Around here, the holidays mean lots of hot cocoa by the lights of the trees, watching Christmas movies.
Since it’s a regular thing, I want it to be convenient. And festive!
We keep all of our supplies together, with trays leaned up behind them. So we pick up a tray, and load it with what we need for our party, then carry it to the tree to enjoy.
I keep a supply of candy canes for stirring, vegan and regular marshmallows, cocoa powder that we can use the hot water dispenser with, as well as cocoa that needs a teapot of hot milk to make, along with teabags, (because I can’t always handle as much hot chocolate as the grandfairies can) and treats.
Some of it is tucked away inside this chipboard box that I turned into a gingerbread house.
This one holds a baggie of cookies.
And there is always whipped cream in the fridge ready for the festivities.
